Instruction & Operation Manual
800.789.1718
Installation
•
An isolation valve should be installed at both the suction and
discharge sides of the pump. This will allow you to remove
the pump for preventative maintenance or repair without the
need to drain your system.
(see the diagram to the right)
•
If pump is not in a flooded suction condition, install either a
foot valve or system check valve to ensure pump casing is
flooded for priming.
•
In order to provide pump flow rate control, a control valve
should be installed in the discharge piping to prevent motor
overload.
